    So when they perfect it, how many of you are gonna use Wiimotes on your pcs?

    You can plug your Wii into your laptop if it has VGA-in. I played Wii bowling on a co-worker's Toshiba and he insisted on wearing the wrist strap to prevent any "accidents". Worked pretty well, although I never got the hang of it and ended up losing badly :(

    The wii itself is very small and uses a lot of laptop tech.

    I wouldnt buy a wii for my laptop

    but if there was a very cheap adapter and i owned a wii i would try it out

    Not interested. Wii may be interesting technology, but ulgh, it's such a pain to use not to mention uncomfortable, as the pointer is always off key.
